Nope, turkeys aren't due til tomorrow... they're as bad as Calls taking their sweet @$$ time, lol...

well aw I recon aw maybe there are a lot of ways to do things and not all of us agree on everything . The way I look at things is you own the egg so you make the call . now follow which ever rule you choose . I have heard people say that you should not candle during the seven days of the second week . but I know of people who candle daily . and have had 100% hatch from set . but most of the time they do not . I have a text book from UConn that says candle starting on the forth day . I do know the larger the incubator the longer it takes to recover to incubation temperature. hatchers that incubate a lot of eggs will not candle as often or even at all or all the eggs .When they do its grab a few at random and check those . There is a thread out there that addresses the question as to who is right or wrong . I do things as I feel like doing them. when I feel like doing them. Doesn't make it right just what I do . now consider this. They say that you shouldn't open the incubator more than you need to or handle the eggs more than you need to . if you hand turn you should be in the incubator at least six times a day for eighteen days. That is a whole of in's right there. people do it all the time and get very good hatch results . does it make a difference ? I don't know one study says yes another says no . It can get really confusing . Your mentor is very knowledgeable in the art of mechanical incubation and has years of experience . this is a fact hat is very hard to ignore . so your reluctance to do other than she advices is understandable . and please don't let me lead you astray . All I'm saying is the choice is yours to make .

I can't decide right now whether I should try and be hands off or if being a helicopter incubator woud be best for my bator style. Should have figured this out beforehand, eh? All things with time, I guess..

I think everyone is watching, drinking and partying.
Probably be back tomorrow...

I'm still here. Don't care much for anything not played on ice or on horseback.

I'll have to think some more..... Sit on it.... I can't decide right now whether I should try and be hands off or if being a helicopter incubator woud be best for my bator style. Methinks I probably shoulda figured this out BEFORE I set.

I'll keep you all updated.
Aww Sally, I don't know what to say.... Other than THANK YOU.

yall are makin me get choked up here! *sniffle*

I can't belive how much time you all are taking to share advice, methods, and support. It means a lot to me.

I'm still here, I aint a sports fan unless you count dressage, jumping, endurance, or rodeo as a "sport."

Rodeo IS a Sport!
